Salut!<br>
<br>
Am primit un mesaj de la Bogdan Doinea referitor la un citat din Modern<br>
Operating Systems:<br>
<br>
"The UNIX system has a command, nice, which allows a user to<br>
voluntarily reduce the priority of his process, in order to be nice to<br>
the other users. Nobody ever uses it."<br>
<br>
Va mai ofer si eu doua din Operating System Concepts:<br>
<br>
"Certain options and features of a program may be used rarely. For<br>
instance, the routines on U.S. government computers that balance the<br>
budget have only recently been used." (Chapter 10 - Virtual memory)<br>
<br>
"An operating system is similar to a government. Like a government, it<br>
performs no useful function by itself". (Chapter 1 - Introduction)</blockquote><div><br>And let's not forget:<br><br>MOS on first-come first-served alghorithm:<br>"The great strength
of this algorithm is that it is easy to understand and equally easy to
program. It is also fair in the same sense that allocating scarce
sports or concert tickets to people who are willing to stand on line
starting at 2 A.M. is fair. "<br>
